For a more complete example of calling Python from Tcl and
calling Tcl from Python look at IDEStudio
    http://starship.python.net/crew/mike/Idle/

You may be also interested the automatic wrapping of Tcl Tix
objects in Tixapps/Utils/ObjtixPython.tcl. The latter gives a fairly
easy upgrade path from Tcl to Python:

1) Firstly, objectify your Tcl code as much as possible by
creating Objtix classes and methods for anything in Tcl you
want to get at from Python. This will still run under Tcl,
and will only improve your Tcl code.

2) Use the automatic ObjTix wrapper to make these classes
and methods available to Python.
